A drag race tournament down the long pond straightaway would suffice.

There was quite a few good races at Pocono compared to this....
- Joey Logano vs Mark Martin in 2012, Dale Jr has his best car in years
- Gordon winning in 2012? I believe while Johnson and Kenseth junk the field with rain coming
-Kahne absolutely smoking Gordon on a restart
-Dale Jr vs Brad Keselowski 2014
-Dale Jr vs Kevin Harvick 2014, great race
- Matt Kenseth wins in fuel in 2016?
- Chris Buescher in 2016.

This place rivals Loudon
glad you think so. I guess I should have wished for fuel mileage or weather.

This is the narrative I wish they’d push. Much bigger than all this minor league wins.

I need to think of something new for here
Agreed.
“...I feel like if we’d have got to the front nobody’d ever pass us, one of those races, with the way the cars are you could be a 20th place car and nobody’s gonna pass you...”

True.

I'm glad you are taking my light hearted comment seriously
I don't take anything on here seriously, and it was not your comment I was referring to

I said the exact same thing last week.

Off the top of my head...
- Mayfield, Rusty and Burton in 2000. Everyone remembers the Sr.-Mayfield finish in June but what's often forgotten is the karma that got Mayfield on the final lap in July
- Labonte vs DE Jr in 2001
- 1998 Mayfield overtakes Waltrip late. Last time DW had a legit chance to win.
-1995 Jarrett passes then holds of Gordon. Win might have changed Jarrett's fate at Yates and ultimately his career. Only win in the #28....
- 1995 Gordon misses a shift on a very late restart and Texas Terry wins..
-1994 Rusty passes Sr. on the last lap to win...
-1992 Famous Davey flip race. DW ends up winning in a wild fuel mileage scramble...
- 1992 Kulwicki passes Elliott with 12 to go. Would prove to be huge in the title chase.
-1989 Elliott chases down Rusty and passes him with 5 to go
-1987 Sr passes Kulwicki on the last lap
- 1986 Richmond gets caught up in a big wreck off the tunnel turn, drives his car backwards to pit road then later passes Bodine with 1 to go to win. The race ends in a 3 way photo finish between Richmond, Bodine and Rudd. The movie "Days of Thunder" made reference...
-1985 Elliott holds of Gant in a photo finish

Who are you talking about? Kyle Douche?
Someone will be along shortly with stats claiming 113 green flag passes or something to that effect.

I respect what those guys do but I'm not sure what he's getting at, aren't ratings and attendance up the past 2-3 races?

Yeah, that happened on a restart coming off turn 1.
Kyle's outside turn 3 fly bye was after they had spread out some.

Depressing
I am currently researching the event to see if was considered to be a " quality pass "

Except it wasn't a blow out. Not even close. He lurked and counted down laps during the race, then dominated the final stage. KyBu led only 79 of 160 laps. KyLar respect it or not, won two stages.

I did a quick Jeff Gluck-esque poll of myself to determine whether or not it was a "quality pass." All votes are in, and yes, 100% say it absolutely was a "quality pass."

That lack of independent journalism covering the sport is a bad thing.
No one wants Claire B. Lang and Dave Moody to be the only ones left covering this thing.
The bible of the racing Gods says that the pass has to stick for a certain distance and or a certain time .... it didn't, Rowdy saw to that
I must very respectfully disagree sir 
Kyle ( Busch ) led the only lap that really matters to some of us .... mid race antics should not matter. He who puts together a race and finishes first at the end, he be the man
NASCAR quietly agrees with me, even they know a gimmick when they create one ! the proof you ask ? Only one guy walked away with a trophy

I agree with @Revman ! You see, long ago when Kyle Busch blew 3 engines in three races, Revman talked me down from a window on the 145 floor, he promised that better days were coming and he was right, a bond like that is a powerful thing
I agree, the race was poor at best, even with the Kyle Busch blowout
But, a Kyle Busch bow and burnout is always fabulous
